HCR - Mobile Robot Platform (Support Kinect)
5 units available with a short lead time.
The HCR (Home Care Robot) Mobile Robot Platform is a two-wheel-drive robot chassis with a three-level structure, designed for building indoor service and research robots. The kit includes two DC motors with integrated encoders, two rubber wheels, an omni-directional caster wheel, three collision sensors, and all necessary mounting hardware.
The platform features six ultrasonic sensor mounting positions for 360° obstacle detection, a bracket for mounting a Microsoft Kinect, and special interfaces for a mini-ITX motherboard. The high-torque 12 V DC motors with encoders support PID speed control for precise navigation. With a 10 kg payload capacity, it can carry sensors, computers, and other equipment across all three levels.
